Merci Train - Maryland

Artifacts:The Montgomery County Historical Society has four Merci Train items in our collection: a flax wheel, a miniature portrait of Marie Antoinette, a small model of the Arc de Triomphe, and a small wood sculpture depicting two people from Brittany. According to a newspaper article from 1949, the Maryland boxcar items were placed on exhibit at the Enoch Pratt library, Baltimore; representatives from the Society "bid on" these four items (the bidding process isn't described). Unfortunately, there are no records that indicate where other items were deposited.
